This is me

About Me

I am lucky to be me . . . I get to compose and play music, teach great kids, be part of a loving family, enjoy the company of the best of friends, as well as find and encourage peace and beauty in as many ways and forms as possible . . . . I get to enjoy everyday of my life. Thanks for stopping by and giving my music a listen. And I hope you are as lucky in your life as I am in mine.
